Basketball Sleep - Part Two

I suppose this is why you don’t play basketball 2 hours before going to bed. We played 6 games last night, losing the first 3 by devastating blowouts did not help. We later redeemed ourselves by winning 2 convincing games back to back but then dropped the 6th in a 21 point game. I’m not too worried about the 6th game though because most of it was in good-ole-fashioned fun, just relaxing and messing around.

Having played 6 games and sat out two (or three?) meant being at the courts for almost 3 hours even though actual time played was only an hour or so. I didn’t leave until just before 9PM. That combined with the intensity of the games don’t help my cause when I’m trying to get shut-eye hours later. So here I am at 4:30AM tossing and turning, physically weary but mentally awake. My GrindAlert says I’ve been bruxing tonight even though with my semi-state of consciousness throughout the night, I didn not notice the alarm going off (more on GrindAlert later).

In retrospect however, I’ve slept lightly at least a couple of nights in the last week. Part of this was due to the bachelor party and staying up til 6AM playing poker. I guess this past Friday and Saturday aren’t helping the cause either.

I guess I’ll write for a bit and try to go back to bed later.
